Our
next Photo Safari to Kenya has now been scheduled with a departure date of May
5 and a return date of May 23. Come join us and take some beautiful pictures
like these two Grevy's zebras nursing their young at Samburu National Reserve.
Our flight will leave New York for London, where you will have dayrooms reserved
before flying all night to Nairobi, Kenya. To provide the finest in personal
attention, this tour will be limited to no more than sixteen persons. Game drives
will take place early each morning and late afternoon to provide maximum opportunity
for game viewing, as the animals are most active at these times. We will visit
five game reserves to allow for a variety of animal populations and scenery.
This
lion is relaxing in the late afternoon sun. Notice the scar under his right
ear. He might have received that when he was booted out of his pride as a young
lion. We will be spending most nights in tented camps listening to the night
sounds of hunters such as this magnificent animal. Enjoy visiting native villages
and trading with the local businessmen. Birding enthusiasts will enjoy adding
to their bird lists with Kenya's over 300 species of birds. View the beginning
of the annual migration of millions of wildebeest, a spectacular sight. The
wildebeest are traveling from the Serengeti Plain to the Mara in search of water
and grass. Optional excursions include ballooning over the Masai Mara, fishing
on Lake Victoria, camel rides at Amboseli Serena Lodge, and golfing at the Aberdare
Country Club. Lake Victoria is the largest freshwater lake in the world.
All
safari vehicles have roof hatches for unobstructed photography opportunities,
such as this photo of a reticulated giraffe. Window seats are guaranteed for
all members of the group. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided each
day. Professional guides will accompany the group at all times. Our guides are
English speaking with years of experience in conducting safaris. Our pool of
guides includes ornithologist JoAnne Rife, zoologist Jenny Williams, anthropologist
Christina Elizabeth, and naturalist Richard Newland. Private air transport will
whisk us to our more distant game reserves. This is truly a trip of a lifetime.
We expect the openings to fill quickly, so make your reservation now!
